AI has practically entered every field and industry, and it continues to impact every repeatable process and improve efficiency. Still, there are certain compliance challenges when it comes to the ethical use of AI, and how can we make it trustworthy? Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) was built to answer that. It can make AI factual, consistent, and context-aware. However, RAG only performs as well as the information it retrieves. If your knowledge is fragmented, even the best retrieval system will stumble.

The End of “Owned Media” in the Search Era
